For rest and relaxation I often listen to Podcasts.

One that I really enjoying is Pirate History, along with reading Treasure Island just now.

I also listen to (or have listened to in past or in tend to listen to in future):

• Revolutions Podcast
• The History of Rome
• Work Class History Podcast
• Novara Media Podcasts
• Behind the News: Doug Henwood’s Radio Show
• Talking Politics.
• Another Europe is Possible
• Titans of Nuclear
• Shell Energy Podcast
• Sleep With Me Podcast
• Orbiting Human Circus
• Dreamboy
• The Duncan Trussell Family Hour
• …

And btw a recent conversation led me to revisit the GapMinder website. Well worth checking out if you have not already.
